The Kirtling Street site is on the southern bank of the River Thames and comprises four areas of land as well as an area extending into the Thames. From this location we are driving the main tunnel to Carnwath Road Riverside in the west and towards Chambers Wharf in the east.
Kirtling Street
May 2020
Following a pause to our works as part of our response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have resumed some construction work at our Kirtling Street site. We have introduced several additional precautions so that our team can do this work safely.
Millicent, our westbound tunnel boring machine (TBM), completed her 5km journey to Carnwath Road in Fulham in November 2019. We are currently decommissioning and removing the giant tunnelling machine from the tunnel.
Ursula, our eastbound TBM, has completed 4.4km of her 7.5km journey to Chambers Wharf in Bermondsey. Is currently beneath our Blackfriars Bridge Foreshore site, where she has safely paused to undergo some planned reconfiguration work to prepare the machine for the remaining stretch of her journey.
All non-essential staff who can work from home are doing so.
If you have any questions about this or our site at Kirtling Street please get in touch with our helpdesk on 08000 30 80 80 or [email protected]
What are our working hours?
24/7 working
As we are now in the tunnelling phase of construction, we are working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across the site.
As a precautionary measure due to the current public health situation, our Community Liaison Working Group meeting is currently postponed.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience this might cause, however please get in touch via our 24-hour Helpdesk on 08000 30 80 80 or email [email protected] if you would like to speak to a member of the team.
